Are these screens repairable?

the big one is an RCA. the smaller Vizio tv is quite older and not sure if it's worth it, but I still want to know for sure.

No, New panels would cost more to replace than a new tv. sell the boards and backlights

The cracked LCD panel cannot be repair, if you want to replace the panel the all you have to do is to get the model number of the LCD panel and search for the replacement then you will see how much the replacement will be.

oh alright that's simple. I'm having trouble finding those panels though. I see everything else.

Good used panels are hard to come by (probably 95%+ of parted out TVs are parted out due to broken panels) and new panels would cost more than those TVs are worth (and possibly more than a brand new TV of similar size).

Can't find any of the RCA listed for sale, but I can't imagine a used one (working) going for much more than $100, I see 2 similar Vizios (both listed as working) listed on eBay one for $35 and one for $50, you're very unlikely to find a good panel for less than those prices. Even brand new 32" TVs can be found for less than $150 and 42" TVs for less than $250 these days and both of those TVs were entry-level sets when new.

A broken panel on an LCD (or plasma) TV is rarely worth repairing.



edit, beat me too it
